December 23, 2016-- GRC Releases Interactive Map of Graffiti Laws by State

Cities, community groups, and members of the public can learn more about the graffiti laws in their state with a new, interactive tool created by the GRC. Under its Resources tab, the GRC has created a “Graffiti Laws by State” interactive map that provides information regarding state laws on graffiti. By simply clicking on a state, you can see the citation to the state statute, summary of the graffiti law, and a description of the type of law that it is. Graffiti laws range vastly between states, ranging from penalties, abatement requirements, reward programs, public art funding, definitions of graffiti, granting counties the authority to regulate graffiti, and sale and display restrictions. Because there is no other state-by-state graffiti law guide available, the GRC hopes this will be an innovative, useful resource for cities and states as they develop their anti-graffiti programs.
